Diamante



She read a diamante
About me playing with my kitten
Upstairs in Long Beach one day
In the afternoon she had written

A good day maybe Sunday
One of many with few if any
Bad days like were on the way

Boy-genius was the tip of the stone
Hyphenated to a point
Well made of my immaturity
Fate would wait to disappoint

But having been together alone
Having grown separately
We were not to be as we had been

Now I would forget I know
How we were when we were not to be
How we forgot to be then
Because that was a lifetime ago

But for a diamante
She read in my head (and heart maybe)
Until now still haunting me

Your words echo with a melancholy that has a prayer attached, Steven. Playing with your kitten, eh? I like that.

Love ya!

I tried to grasp the meaning this poem. But I couldn't quite do it. That's okay, I'm sure you know it's me very well and perhaps it was only meant for you anyway.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
